46 C. Save and G-. Stephens, 



KJÎR. Thus the LEARNED, the Priests, Ecclesiastics, Hohj Church, in 

 contrast to LAY MEN, LEWD MEN. 



AKU (= ÅGU, ÅGHU, ^.GHU), 3 pi. près. (Prof. Ol. Rygh and 

 S. Bugge). WE, own, have, possess, riyhtly enjoy. Icel. EIGU. 



AT, prep. gov. d. (Bugge). AT, hi/, in accordance with. 



LIUt>RITI, d. s. m. (Bugge rightly adds the last I). LEDE-EIGHT, 

 O.-E. LEODRIHT, Folk-right, Folk-lav, as I pointed' out. Bugge proves 

 that the N.-L LYRITR is the same word, only with the Ï* ehded. 



SUA, rel. pr. n. s. m. (Bugge). SO, as, which. 



UAS, 3 s. prêt. (Bugge). WAS. 



INT, p.p. n. s. n. (Bugge). Carried IN, iirodaiiaed IN the folk- 

 moot, publicly enacted and announced. 



FUR, adv. (Bugge). FORE, heFORE. — AUK, as before. 



HALKAT, p.p. u. s. n. (Bugge). HALLO WED, set apart, specially 

 allotted, fixt. Thus : 



EKE ALL of-AGÊ (his property) IN-lt (therein) WOBTH-is-to-lic (is lost) 

 IF HE OFF- SHAKE (should finally refuse) RIGHT (just pay mint) FORE (a- 

 (jainst) SO- AT (that which) the -LEARNED (the Clert/y) OWN (have) AT (by) 

 LEBE-RIGHT (folk-law), SO (as) WAS INNED (proclaimrd) FORE (hrforc) 

 EKE (and) HALLOWED (fixt, solemnly enacted). 



We have seen that in this sentence FURIR is taken by Bugge 

 himself to be a preposition governing the following SUA. And 3'et the 

 two words are separated by a divisional stop or ornament {'.); another 

 proof, to the many we have before, of the frequent insignificance of such 

 marks in the construction of the language. See what I have said above 

 about STAFA. 



5. IN, but, as before. 



t'Ai?, n. pi. m. THEY, the persons to be named, those or these 

 men, namely ANUND and UFAG. We have hundreds of such instances, 

 variously spelt. Confining ourselves to runic pieces and to those which 

 have the b and the eud-R, we have I^J^IR, t>ih]R, t>AIR (the commonest 

 form, nearly 100 examples), Ï^AIRi?, t>AR (7 stones), I^AUR, l^AÜR, Ï^EIR, 

 t^ER, ï>IiEIR, t>IR (the next commonest form), ^OIR. — Prof. Bugge 

 takes this t'Ai? to be the adverb THERE, and malvcs it bear the me- 

 aning HERE, on this ring. 



KIRt>U (= GIRt>U), 3 pi. p. (fARED, made; probably here, as so 

 very often, equivalent to let make, ordered to be made. 



SIK, refl. pr. d. pi. For-themselves. Instead of the older SER, SIR. 

 The reflective pronoun gen. SlN, dat. SER, ac. SIK, died out so early 

 in England that no example has yet been found. But it doubtless once 

 existed, as it is known in all the Scando-Gothic lane:uag:es.
